1. What did he mean by saying that the Children of the King's
have to be held accountable too?

3. I'm not sure... I wonder if it's a dig at the daughter of MLK

4. I think he's talking about Belafonte being uninvited
Perhaps they were responsible for the fiinal decision. I'm just guessing.

2. Thanks again-and a question
Did I hear right, that Harry Bellafonte paid for MLK's funeral and looked after the family financially after his death? Wow. Just adds to my esteem for the man.

And Professor West has it right-this Administration only shows its contempt for the brothers and sisters-but ALL brothers and sisters, regardless of skin color, imho.
